Question: Why do I have no more aspiration for our family vacation anymore? Posted: 17 Aug 2019 12:36 PM PDT Every year in August we go to a place called Campbell's bay campground it's a little campground that has a bunch of cabbins I go with my family and 8 other couples that are close family friends. There is not a lot to do up there because it's all the up in a place called swanton Vermont. My parents go Saturday to Saturday im leaving Wednesday I been where almost 3 hours and I'm already bored. But the issue with me is if I don't go I'll be like ugh k should of went. How can I get back to liking it again. All we do in Vermont is drink eat sit by a campfire sleep and repeat. I'm 27 but I don't drink I just wanna get back to enjoying going up every year. I been going up here for 16 years now. |
Question: Who is Mohammad Moniruzzaman Milton? Is he Bangladeshi? Posted: 17 Aug 2019 12:32 PM PDT Does anybody know details about Mohammad Moniruzzaman Milton? |
Posted: 17 Aug 2019 11:17 AM PDT My mom told me she felt like I was rubbing it in her face. I told her how is that rubbing it in her face if I was saying if I wanted kids with someone in their 40s taking that chance for me, thats for someone that wants kids how am I rubbing that in your face for you?. She said "I don't even do anything, I'm worry about myself right now. That time you went on the computer thought I want more kids you know when you press something on the computer and it takes you to other things. You thought I want more kids you keep rubbing it in, coming from a whole whack job place" dont need someone controling. Was talking with my mom, she brought up about my friend how shes went a guy thats older but yet when I was in a relationship with an older guy last year how I couldn't talk to my friend about anything so I started to talk about how my friend said when your passed 40 how your at high risk of having a kid with down syndrome. My mom stop me right away that she didn't want to hear about that. I found it so weird cause she said I hate when people repeat but yet she always repeats, so as I. My mom is 44 besides me 20, theres my two younger sisters 10 & 7, not long ago I found on the computer chance of getting pregnant at 44 etc.I freaked cause I been a nanny to my siblings & it's been a lot on me I had to move back home to help. Anyway she said she doesn't want more kids but don't think my parents use any protection but pullout method only cause of what I saw on the computer that night. |
Question: Does this means I have a messed up sister? Posted: 17 Aug 2019 11:02 AM PDT My sister is 12 year-old while I'm in college. Weird things have been happening over the years and we found out she s been bullying other girls in school. Today, my parents and I confronted her about a 2017 pool incident (a playmate wasn't a good swimmer claimed she pushed him in the pool on purpose and said repeatedly ''drown'' with a smile) as well as several pets missing over the years. Her response was an elaborated: ''Don't be ridiculous, off course I didn't do any of that but what if I did''? What then? I asked again. She said the same thing ''No but what if I did''? Was the ''what if I did'' her admitting to all of it after all and my little sister is screwed up?? |
Question: It feels like my parents aren t paying attention to me or maybe that they ve given up? Posted: 17 Aug 2019 10:37 AM PDT My mom works 2 jobs, both are part time I think, I m not completely sure. She uses an app and she picks her hours and goes goes grocery shopping for other people and the pay her to do so. She gets really stressed and upset over it all the time but she chooses when she does and doesn t work, and we don t need the money shes making, my dads job and her other job are more than enough and it feels like shes putting unnecessary stress on herself which is then coming onto me and my sister. My mom always screams and yells at me for not doing things she asked me to and I get it, its upsetting, but I don t feel like she should be screaming at me all the time, and I m working on getting better at it but it doesnt feel like she is. She always apologizes but does it again. She never does anything when my sister is being rude and screaming and yelling in my face and threatening to punch me or throw things at me. She doesn t stop her at all. I pierced my tongue a while ago and she hasn t even noticed. It feels like she not paying any attention to me. My dad is just never home because he works second shift for his job. I just feel really stuck and I don t know what to do anymore because it feels like my family is the whole cause of my stress and anxiety. |
Question: What do I do when I'm always home? Posted: 17 Aug 2019 10:36 AM PDT My parents always refuse to go somewhere with me, im jealous of people who go to vacations or are mostly outside, my parents rarely go somewhere when I want to go somewhere, they wont let me go anywhere either, the only thing I can do is go on the playground, but theres nothing much to do, it makes me sad that my mom lets my cousin (when he comes for a visit) go visit a friend far away, she does ANYTHING what he wants, why are they doing this? What did I ever do wrong? I'm always bored and my dad always drinks at night with my mom, I dont have any friends anyway, they are always mad at me when I do something wrong :(, I feel like I was born as a mistake, my house (or parents house) is also small, I have no brother or sister, only 2 pets, including my rabbit that im not supposed to free roam her, I feel like im in prison, please help, my phone and computer is the only entertaining thing I can do, also if my parents accept that I can go.somewhere with them and do something wrong or get a nose bleed thst last for few minutes, then they day "we're not anywhere", it makes me depressed and lonely and sometimes suicidal, I dont know what to do with my life anymore, all they care about is money, theyre just selfish :( |
Posted: 17 Aug 2019 10:35 AM PDT Bought the lot next to where my parents used to live, so sleep 200 feet from where I did as a kid. Got a job that gives me summers off so I can ride my bike to the beach where I swam as a kid. Spend much of my time with extended family as they are getting older and need help around their properties. No kids, no desire for kids. I like to be financially secure. |
Question: Should i go to a family event under threat? Posted: 17 Aug 2019 10:09 AM PDT My brother & i hate each other. It's a deep rooted dislike that we've since our childhood. He doesn't respect me as his older sibling, mainly because he suspects me as closet gay & i don't earn as much money as he is. I hate him for that & the fact that I'm being discriminated against by my family for my sexual orientation. He's straight & about to wed soon. we haven't communicate at least 15 years despite in the last 5 years we're living in the same house (in our parents house, with our parents). I wanted so bad not to go to his upcoming wedding ceremony. I told my mom that i'd not go. Why would i go to his wedding if he doesn't respect me & my gut is telling me not to go? It'd be just awful for me watching him wed, while i'm sure that i wouldn't get the same ceremony (which paid for by our parents) & acceptance if i wed a man. My parents telling me to go just for the appearance that our family is a happy bunch (which is false), & for the photo op. They threatened me with lesser / loss of their financial support if i don't go. I told my mom that if i get an invitation then i'd go but she said that family don't get formal invitations because it's uncommon thing in my society. If the pressure turns out to be overwhelming & the threat intensifies, i'd go but i'd wearing a casual clothing (i refuse to give him that respect) & i'd probably be unfriendly & have a really bad mood. I need your best advice on how to deal or not to in my situation. What would u do if u were me? |
Question: Parents supporting my brother more than me? Posted: 17 Aug 2019 09:29 AM PDT I'm currently working on an online business and my brother is playing high school football and it seems like my parents are giving 10 times more support with football than my online business. What should I do |
Posted: 17 Aug 2019 09:14 AM PDT So I been on the depo shot for almost five months, the first three months my period stop. The second time I got my shot I have been on my period non stop. So I been on it now for two months. Some days it stops so I think I'm done with it so if I try having sex or anything else; when I finish I start to bleed again for a little bit or a few hours and then it stops again. Is that normal? Is it because my period is irregular ? How long am I going to bleed for? |
Question: Why my 50 year old mom keep insulting and yelling at us everyday? Posted: 17 Aug 2019 08:58 AM PDT I never understand why, she stays at home and my dad works. It so annoying Im not doing anything wrong she just yells and insults me. |
Question: How do I get my extended family to like me without imposing on them? Posted: 17 Aug 2019 08:37 AM PDT I always think it is cool when people have aunts and uncles and cousins but I don't cause my mother and her family don't like each other. I want to know them though. I don't have a father and so her family would be the only family I would have. How do I get my extended family to like me without imposing on them? Right now the only active family I have is my Mom. |
Question: Do i have the right to get mad at my older brother? Posted: 17 Aug 2019 07:01 AM PDT My brother DOESNT clean up himself. DOESNT do his own laundry, DOESNT clean the house etc. and expects me to clean up after his mess and do his laundry and gets mad at me when I dont. Im a 21 yr old female, he's a 23 yr old male. He's working, and helps with paying the electrical bill and water bill. we live together in my studio apartment. My parents pay the rent (3k). I lived alone before and managed on my own. I paid for my electrical and water bills before with the monthly budget my parents gave me before. (11k a month) (i just subtract the bills) and I cleaned up after myself etc. I still have the same amount of allowance every month even if he is here, and now I want him out. He's lucky he doesnt have to pay for his own apt and rent because of me. and he still treats me like a maid Im still in college tho, thats why I still have a monthly allowance, and Im lucky as fck for that. Im thankful to my parents. They give me 3k monthly for the rent and 11k for my monthly food, needs etc. I manage that 11k alone, and use some of that to pay bills (which costed me 1.5k back then). and Im okay. while my bro doesnt have to pay rent cause he lives with me and pays bills which at present, is actually less than 1.5k, and is a slob. and expects me to clean up after him |
Posted: 17 Aug 2019 06:49 AM PDT This is my first bachelor pad, since I used to live with my mother. So I felt so foolish for telling her, since she basically sh*tted on a proud milestone in my life. In her defense: 1. She congratulated me... BEFORE she asked me where I moved to. 2. When I told her where I moved, she said, "Wow! Umm, you know what? I'm not saying anything." Of course, I was wondering what she was implying, and asked her to not hold back. Of course, curiosity killed the cat. Am I wrong in this scenario, since she technically said "congratulations," as well as the fact that I encouraged her to criticize me, so to speak, which was obviously a mistake? |
Posted: 17 Aug 2019 05:39 AM PDT The aunt is now widowed. Her husband died in April. In 35 years they had 7 separations ranging from a few days to over a year. Divorce was filed two times and talked about all but one of the separations. The aunt is my blood relative so we rooted for her but I think both were bringing out the worst in each other. However, at the funeral she was very emotional and so I am wondering is this still a happy marriage even though it was dysfunctional? They even had 3 kids. |
Posted: 17 Aug 2019 04:17 AM PDT Ok, I have always considered my family very inappropriate. I am an adult now, but when we get together, the elder women ( older aunts and uncles) gather in the dining area and start talking about this and that. Everything ces up for discussion, everyone's personal issues, etc. I've noticed that when the young children of the family start to develop ( breasts for example, getting a period, etc) that it becomes a family discussion. For example, my cousins daughter just started puberty, everyone gets together for a family event ( like Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc) and everyone starts yapping about her developing boobs. It's an all out discussion, and my cousins daughter is in the room, hearing her elders talk about her new boobs coming in....right in front of her! How embarrassing! I don't think this is appropriate, but they do this stuff every get together. Do you think this is also inappropriate?? |

Question: Could my mom’s overprotective nature have to do with me being a Aboriginal teenage girl? Posted: 16 Aug 2019 11:19 PM PDT It might be a normal parent thing but she worries about me getting killed/missing too. If you Google "Highway of Tears", you'll see that dozens of Aboriginal girls have been murdered on that street due to racism. And I live on that very same province. That's what my friend pointed out to me. We learned at school that previous ancestors suffered from trauma too, etc. My mom has always feared CPS might discriminate against her and stuff too, so she never wants to seem like a bad parent. I just looked it up and found out that a big number of foster kids in Canada (and maybe USA??) are Native American. Ive always wondered why she seemed kinda paranoid. But now I know about this history stuff and I'm beginning to wonder if this is the reason why she fears. |
Question: If I am 17 right now and my dad is 43? Posted: 16 Aug 2019 10:18 PM PDT How old will my dad be when I am 48 |
Posted: 16 Aug 2019 09:42 PM PDT A mom won't let her son have and do something because she didn't have or get to do it. is it? |
Question: Would you cut ties with a family member who bad-mouthed you? Posted: 16 Aug 2019 06:59 PM PDT My parents and I visited my great aunt (grandma's sister). When we got back, she refused to contact my parents. Instead, she called the rest of our family and said that my parents are selfish, greedy, and that I look and dress ugly. I'm 16; she's 62. Like who the heck says that about their niece? And she wants $3,000 for staying 2 nights at her house. My freaking family member. |
Posted: 16 Aug 2019 06:42 PM PDT For example if I put CBSNEWS.COM on all night will it keep playing or does it go off at a given point? I had to cancel cable to save money for health bills since I am not disabled or emotionally disturbed enough for the government to help. |
Question: Trouble with parent? Fighting all the time.? Posted: 16 Aug 2019 06:40 PM PDT I often fight with my mother. We both don't back down and feel like the other person doesn't care. We both feel like neither one listens. My mother has told me she is not happy when I'm around. I have tried to apologize and she brings up another subject not even related to the first and tries to start another fight with me. What do I do? |
Posted: 16 Aug 2019 06:32 PM PDT He nags us kids and tells us how to live and it is strange cause his father was not at all like this. His Dad was cool and allowed his children to be themselves. My mother's Dad was more the type to dictate stuff to his kids. |
Posted: 16 Aug 2019 06:31 PM PDT She was always a little spoiled but not narcissistic until the past 15 years or so. War broke out in the last seven or eight years with her for reasons I won't post on here. One of the other aunts is consumed with bitterness over at my mother is obsessed with fixing it and my uncle will not speak to the narcissistic aunt. My grandmother who is still living tries to keep the narcissistic daughter calm. It is so similar to an alcoholic family I know. In that case one daughter split and cost her children to miss out and another daughter tried to fix the alcoholic father with the brother being in the middle and having a healthy balance. My other aunt who used to be really close to and used to be a lot of fun is now consumed with bitterness towards the narcissistic sister and feeling with their feared that the mother is on the narcissist side not hers. This all started with the conflict the two aunts had when their father was dying eight years ago. Lastly my father who is an in law does not want me speaking to the narcissist aunt and yet I'm 32 and should be able to do whatever I want. So my question is how do I stay calm when around the family with all this? It makes me very anxious. My mother's family used to be one of those families people were jealous their families were not more like. Now cause of this one aunt the whole family is a sick family like the term "Family Disease". |
Question: How do I say no to a family member who takes everything personally? Posted: 16 Aug 2019 03:12 PM PDT I go to an online school so I'm at home with my grandma all day. She knows that I am in high school and I need to focus, but she asks me to go to the store or out to eat with her everyday. And if I say yes she ends up taking to me a bunch of different places and we don't get home until 5 pm (and I miss the entire school day). I tell that I can't do that but she says that I can make it up the next day. But, if I say no she thinks I don't want to spend time with her gets mad about. I don't want to make her feel bad but I can't keep doing this because my grades really count now. What should I do? |
Question: Can my 3 years old boy be naked at a public swiming river (around us of course)? Posted: 16 Aug 2019 02:04 PM PDT My husband said he can and nobody will care, he said when he was about this age his parents sometimes would let him be naked at this places (river/beach)... Btw if he is naked should we put sun cream on his butt too? |
Question: My family wants me to become a veterinarian. Do I have to for them? Posted: 16 Aug 2019 02:03 PM PDT |
Question: I really don’t like the gift my mother in law bought for my baby, what can I do? Posted: 16 Aug 2019 05:10 AM PDT Me and my husband are having a girl at the end of the year and my MIL has bought us a foot muff/cosy toes for the pram. It's white and frilly with pink bows allover it. I hate it. I sound awful and like a b*tch I know but it is something I would never ever buy, it's not my taste at all. I hate frilly stuff with bows on for babies. To me it looks cheap and tacky. I would feel embarrassed going out in public with that on my pram, it's not exactly discreet or subtle. My husband doesn't think much of it either but he's like 'I'm not going to stress about a cover for the pram, don't worry about it' But I feel like I'll be made out to be a massive b*tch if I never use it on the pram. I hate it though, I wish she'd checked with us before buying it to see if we liked it. I don't see why I should feel forced or pressured to put something on my babies pram that I really don't like and that I would never have bought myself. |
